Dame
About Dame
Dame is the international game of draughts, played on a big 10 by 10 board with 20 pieces each. You play White at the bottom, against the computer or a friend on the same device. Pieces move one square diagonally forward onto the dark squares. Jump over an opponent's piece to capture it, forwards or backwards, and keep jumping if you can capture again. Captures are compulsory, and when there is a choice you must take the move that captures the most pieces; the captured pieces leave the board at the end of the move. A piece that ends its move on the far row is crowned and becomes a king. Kings fly any distance along the diagonals and can capture from far away, which makes them very strong. You win when the other side has no pieces or no moves left. Against the computer, ten levels go from easy to expert, and winning a game passes the level. You have 45 seconds for each move; if the time runs out the game is over, but you can resume once. Dame works on phones, tablets and computers.
